520 |a After decades as a long-haul trucker, Murphy settled in Boulder County, Colorado. When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he'd harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. After gradually losing his shirt-- but not his spirit-- Murphy decided to make himself a middleman, building drying sheds. This is his chronicle of time spent pitting his dwindling cash against the mercurial buyers who inhabit the Wild West of the hemp market. -- adapted from jacket
